Royce Gracie vs. Matt Hughes: The I Choke You Challenge

For those of you who weren't aware, it was announced on Monday night that Royce Gracie will be making his return to the UFC and the octagon that earned him the respect of millions as the original Ultimate Fighting Champion. He will be facing Matt Hughes, the current Welterweight champion, at 175 lbs, in a non-title bout.

Below follows the details of Forum Bully I Choke You's "challenge" over the event:

If Royce loses, then, as I did when Vitor lost to Chuck, I will again stick my head into my toilet, flush it, and post pics. I think he will lose, but it is such an unacceptable probability to me that I choose to deny it exists. Now, you may ask "Why would he stake his hygiene and dignity on such a shaky foundation?" you may wonder "Does this guy just like sticking his head in toilets?" and you would be right to ask and wonder, but my motivation is simply this:

If my heroes can go on international TV and humiliate themselves, then so should I survive the same experience, and hang my head in shame with them.

On the off chance that he wins, then that's a pretty big weight off my shoulders, and I will enjoy his victory that much more. If he loses, then the indignity of my head-in-the-toilet pics on the forum will not be more crushing than his having lost.

And that's when I figured out that tears couldn't make somebody who was dead alive again. There's another thing to learn about tears, they can't make somebody who doesn't love you any more love you again. It's the same with prayers. I wonder how much of their lives people waste crying and praying to God. If you ask me, the devil makes more sense than God does. I can at least see why people would want him around. It's good to have somebody to blame for the bad stuff they do. Maybe God's there because people get scared of all the bad stuff they do. They figure that God and the Devil are always playing this game of tug-of-war game with them. And they never know which side they're gonna wind up on. I guess that tug-of-war idea explains how sometimes, even when people try to do something good, it still turns out bad.

Ah, but one who has read enough of your posts to form that opinion. Can you explain the joys of facism to us again?

Yeah...I can only wonder what they are offering Royce to do that...I mean...I haven't seen anything recently to make me think Royce could even hang with Hughes. Although, won't Royce have a weight advantage in this fight?
